@protolalia @_Birdie_ you can't follow hashtags on the official app, even despite the recent update. I generally recommend Moshidon and/or Megalodon — both are forks of the official app (albeit before this week's styling makeover), and both allow you to follow hashtags.
@mikestevens @[email protected] Thank you so much!
davrod@mikestevens @protolalia @_Birdie_ oh wow, I've been using #tuskyapp and assumed that was basic functionality, especially given the advice posts I've seen which recommend using hashtags to build a functional and interesting feed.
I'd installed the official #Mastodon app but didn't even notice you can't follow hashtags, probably because the bulk of my usage is still on #tusky. Guess I won't be switching anytime soon!
